Participated · Seed · Sep 2020
Bettani Farms, recently rebranded from Climax Foods, is a Berkeley-based food-technology company focused on creating dairy-free cheeses. Its products—including mozzarella and feta—are built on a proprietary ingredient called Caseed, designed to mimic the functional properties of casein while remaining completely plant-based. The company positions its cheeses as protein-rich and free of common allergens such as nuts and soy. To strengthen execution, Bettani Farms has added industry veterans: former Califia Farms CFO Sandeep Patel now serves as CEO and chairman, while new senior hires span R&D, sales, and process engineering. The fresh leadership aims to accelerate product development and commercialization. Although specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the firm plans to deploy new capital to expand operations and intensify R&D efforts, signaling a focus on scaling production and market reach.
